easter craftin'

I've got a new(ish) blog on my blogroll lately that you need to check out. It is a collaboration of amazing women who share about life, growth, God, food, kids, crafts...you name it. I love the variety I find from post to post, and am always encouraged by the talented bloggers who share there. Its called Beautifully Rooted. Anyway, yesterday this post inspired me to make these adorable mason jar Easter baskets. Super easy, super fast, super cute. And I already had all the supplies I needed. Except for the chocolate bunnies. Which would have never made it though the crafting process anyway.

And since I was on a crafting roll, I couldn't resist making these guys. Fabric covered eggs. Modge podge, fabric scraps and some regular old plastic eggs (tutorial here). I love how they turned out. So much that I bought more (larger) eggs to try out tonight. Seinfeld reruns and The Biggest Loser inspire my crafting apparently.

And I think this may be a world record. Two crafts pinned and created on the same day.

I am blessed to be a proud momma bird and to spend lots of time in my nest with my 3 little nestlings. Each day I realize more and more what a challenge it is to raise these little ones, and how much I need God's love, patience, joy, and guidance moment by moment. I know that through Him, and His word, I can be the mommy He desires me to be.
This blog is a way for me to record those every day moments that slip away so easily, and to let others get a glimpse of life in my blessed nest.
